Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 29, 1916.

Application filed March 8, 1818. Serial No. 752,460.

The object of my invention is to provide certain improvements in theconstruction, form and arrangement of the several parts of a remindingdevice whereby the pointers will be held in their adjusted positionsagainst unintentional displacement.

A practical embodiment of my invention is represented in theaccompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 represents the remindingdevicein front elevation, and Fig. 2 is a section taken in the planes of theline A-'A of Fig. 1. I

The reminding device comprises a dished plate, the depressed portion ofwhich is denoted by 1 and the rim portion by 2. The rim portion 2 of theplate is provided with an annular series of reminders 3, which remindersmay be of any desired character according to the-use to which thereminding device is to be applied. A plurality of pointers 4 are pivotedon a common axis. In the present instance the pointers are pivoted upona hollow pin 5 uprising from the depressed portion 1 of the platecentrally with respect thereto. The plate is provided with an annularseries 0 holes 6 corresponding to the reminders 3 and the pointers 4have inwardly turned points 7 adapted to enter the said holes 6 so as tohold the pointers against unintentional displacement when adjusted to.the desired reminders. These pointers are spring pressed so as to tendto force their inwardly turned points into the said holes 6. In thepresent instance, I have shown the reminding device as a kitchenreminder but it is obvious that it may be used for any desired purposewhere a reminding device would be of value. The reminding device may beprovided with a loop 8 for suspending the device from a support, if sodesired, or a' nail may be driven through the hollow pin 5 for securingthe device to the support.

It i evident that slight changes might be resorted to in the form,construction and arrangement of the several parts without departing fromthe spirit and scope of my invention; hence I do not wish to limitmyielf strictly to the structure herein set forth,

What I claim is As an article of manufacture, a plate having a depressedcentral portion and a flared rim ortion, said rim portion having an annuar series of names of articles and a corresponding series of holes atthe inner edge of the rim portion, a centrally arranged pin uprisingfrom and within the depressed central portion of the plate and aplurality of spring-pressed pointers pivoted and free to be rotated. onsaid pin and having inwardly turned points adapted to enter said holesto hold the pointers in their adjusted positions below the plane of theperipheral line of the plate against unintentional displacement.

In testimony that I claim' the foregoing as my invention, I have signedmyname in presence of two witnesses, this fifth day of March. 1913.

GEORGE F. KINNEY.
